Lyrics

Ring Around the Rosie - Activity Version

(Children hold hands and dance around in a circle).

Ring around the rosies
A pocket full of posies;
Ashes, Ashes
All stand still.
(Children hold still).

The King has sent his daughter,
To fetch a pail of water;
(Children hold hands and dance around in a circle)
Ashes, Ashes
All fall down.
(Children fall to the floor).

The bird upon the steeple,
Sits high above the people;
(Children hold hands and dance around in a circle)
Ashes, Ashes
All kneel down.
(Children kneel).

The wedding bells are ringing,
The boys and girls are singing;
(Children hold hands and dance around in a circle)
Ashes, Ashes,
All fall down.
(Children fall to the floor).

Splash Water Version

To be sung in the pool or bath tub:.

Ring around the otter,
Pockets full of water,
Splashes, splashes,
we all blow bubbles!
